Soon after Helan Minzhi and the others left, the sky gradually darkened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know when no one alarmed Wu Zetian, and the surrounding maids lit the candles in the palace one by one.

The light of each candle was faint, but it was not known how many there were in this huge palace.

Wu Zetian is afraid of the dark, and from the first day she entered the Ganye Temple, she began to be afraid of the dark. When she was young, she was not afraid, she dared to do anything like a tomboy, and she was not afraid of anything. But since entering the Taiji Palace, she has gradually become a lot more afraid. Until one day, she was scared even at night.

The night at Ganye Temple is really dark and really cold. From that day on, she became afraid. Since returning to the palace, her palace has been the one with the most candles in the entire palace. Every day, a special maid comes to light the lamp, starting at dusk and lighting it until dawn the next morning. Only when Gojong was there would she allow the candle to be extinguished while she was asleep. If she were the only one in the empty palace, the lamp would have been extinguished until dawn.

The light of each candle is very faint, but so many can cover every corner of the entire palace. In the absence of a hint of shadow. From a distance, the palace is lit up at night and becomes resplendent in gold.

Wu Zetian leaned on the cushion alone, and the entire hall became more and more cold and lonely as night fell. Although there were many maids around, no one dared to come forward and gossip with her. She didn't have the heart to listen to them talk about all this dispensable gossip. There is only Xiao Yizi, and I am afraid that he is the only one in this palace who will talk about some messy things every day in front of Wu Zetian.

Thinking of his personal eunuch, the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth couldn't help but show a smile. When he first entered the palace, he was only a little eunuch of twelve or thirteen years old. After so many years, in addition to getting a lot older, I'm afraid that this mind and ability haven't increased much. But among the people who follow him, there is no one who is so loyal as him.

Wu Zetian leaned on this alone, her belly became bigger and bigger, and it was difficult for her to get up and go out. But that's fine, she likes to be alone. The absence of noisy sounds around her makes her thoughts clearer.

However, the silence of the palace was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.

This is not the footsteps of one person, but a whole group of people. Now, the only person who can lead a group of people in Wu Zetian's palace and be so unscrupulous is Gaozong Li Zhi.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Wu Zetian heard Li Zhi's voice ringing in the outer hall.

"What about you Zhaoyi? Why is it so quiet? "The voice is very warm. Even if he asked the next person with doubts, there was no hint of questioning. It's just that this warm-sounding voice has a special charm.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhaoyi is resting in the inner hall. It's time to take a nap. "Even though there was no questioning, it was just a very ordinary inquiry. There was still a little trembling in the voice of the answer. The sentences seem to be constantly being considered in the abdomen, for fear that something will go wrong.

"Oh? Tired today? You don't have a break at this time of day, huh? ”

"Today, Zhaoyi's sister, Mrs. Helan is here. Zhaoyi chatted with Mrs. Helan for a while, and it is estimated that she is a little tired now. ”

After that, he didn't hear Gaozong speak again, but the footsteps around him seemed to disappear in an instant. Even Gaozong himself is a little tiptoeing.

Walking into the inner hall, I saw Wu Zetian squinting his eyes and leaning on the cushion, as if he was really asleep. Quickly stretched out his hand to stop the subordinates who wanted to salute, and waved them down. He quietly walked to Wu Zetian's side and stood there and looked at her quietly for a while.

Gojong at this time. He was only in his twenties. has only been on the throne for five years, and he can be regarded as a young man.

Whether it is the Li family, which has now become the Chinese royal family, or the eldest grandson family of the Guanlong family, they all have a little Hu blood. And as the crystallization of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson, Li Zhi inevitably has a little Hu blood.

With a tall nose bridge and deep eyes, he looks a little thin and thin. The skin looks a little white, but it is still different from the normal and healthy white, with some sickly white. However, it is far from pale.

The Li royal family has a hereditary blood disease. Whether it is Gaozu Li Yuan or Taizong Li Shimin. In the end, they all died due to the onset of illness. There is a disease called wind disease in the history books. Although I don't know if Li Chengqian and Li Tai also have this kind of wind disease, Gaozong Li Zhi has been plagued by this disease for many years and cannot solve it.

Although he is young now, he still has occasional attacks. plus the perennial early and dark review of the folds. In the face of the dynasty, Gaozong's health has always been not very good. Even if there is no shortage of supplements, he still has a pale complexion, a slightly thin body, and does not appear healthy.

At this time, he stood in the hall and looked at Wu Zetian with affection.

People say that heaven is ruthless. But Li Zhi didn't think so since he was a child. Although the father has a bunch of concubines, the number of beauties in the harem is not clear. But he knew that his father's feelings for his mother were not something that any concubine could replace. The two most noble people in the world have feelings, how can this heavenly family be ruthless?

When there was no woman in front of him, Gaozong seemed to feel that the queen was not so unpleasant. Although I don't like her, I have never had the kind of love that my father has for my mother. But he also knew that the queen should be given a dignified and decent identity. But since having her, Li Zhi feels dissatisfied, why can't I be like my father and mother, why can't I give my beloved woman the most honorable position in the world, and I can't let my beloved woman be my wife?

It's also the emperor, why can my father do it, but I can never do it?

Each of you is telling me about my father's wisdom and asking me to learn from him. But why do you stop me when I learn like him?

Li Zhi had answers to these questions, but he couldn't say it, he knew he had to be patient. At this time, she must be wronged. In the future, I can give her what I want to give her, even if... She used to be the woman of her father's emperor.

What about my father, who has passed away. Now I am the emperor of this country, me, not the first emperor.

I don't know why, when he saw Wu Zetian, Li Zhi always had a special feeling. This feeling is not love, it is not love, it is an almost crazy sense of possession and fulfillment. Perhaps, just because she used to be the woman of her father's emperor?

I don't know when this thought appeared in his head. It's like a demon lingering in his mind, growing day by day. (To be continued.) )
